For all intents and purposes, FMC is now two channels, each approximately for 12 hours. FXM shows recent movies, from around noon to midnight, and has commercial interruptions. FMC is in the am hours, has no commercials, and still airs some classic movies. However, it seems more and more they show movies from the 70s, 80s and 90s; sometimes there is nothing airing prior to 1970. I sure wish they can do like a cell, and divide fully into two channels.
PS - I remember that more recent films, along with commercial breaks, signalled the demise of the late beloved classic AMC.

Well, as you can see by the replies, it ain't that rare, as TCM airs it occasionally. In fact they aired this one last year on June 8, along with many other titles shown yesterday, in what must be Alexis Smith's birthday tribute. And yes, the reason for its shelving is as was stated; and has nothing to do with the merits of the film.

*It's been dead for years, but doesn't know it. *It's, like, dead channel walking.
Finance, actually your reference is to THE SIXTH SENSE.
VX, please no such suggestions. They already program enough non-classic crap round-the-clock. -
Two Broadway shows that were filmed threw out their charming scores. Irma La Duse and Fanny. They only kept the music to underscore scenes and dialogue. You could say that was a crummy idea for these films.
Im4movies2:
Probaby done because in the early 60s, musicals were considered dead at the boxoffice. So producers must have felt that bringing these charming stories without the music would do hre trick...which did the trick, but I agree its a crummy idea.

Dargo, I'm the one who originally suggested that Lucy was not a sexpot, whereas Anita Ekberg was. I stand by this statement. Lucy did get cast as a sexy blonde early on, often as a chorine. She had those long sexy legs, and was beautiful. However, she did not obviously exude "sexy", which is the distinction I'm making. in the 30s she was sexy, as were many other girls (Ginger Rogers, Claudette Colbert, Frances Farmer, Madeleine Carroll, etc), but they were not sexpots, nor did producers view them thus: BUT Harlow was, Mae West was . . . In the 40s, Lucy was sexy in roles like BEST FOOT FORWARD or LURED, but she wa not a sexpot, nor did producers view her thus, nor did they of sexy Paulette Goddard, Dorothy Lamour, Betty Grable, etc: BUT Lana Turner was, Ava Gardner was, Jane Russell was . . . in the 50s, Lucy was still sexy, but as America's small-screen sweetheart, she was viewed even less as a sexpot, nor were the sexy Janet Leigh, Mitzi Gaynor, Ruth Roman, etc. BUT Marilyn was, Jayne Mansfield was, Gina Lollobrigida was, Silvana Mangano was, Sphia Loren was, Brigitte Bardot was, Anita Ekberg was.
TopBilled wrote:
My point was that Lucy created the role in FIVE CAME BACK, and when it was remade twenty years later, they found another actress who in some way resembled her. Just like with STAGE STRUCK, they cast Susan Strasberg who had some similarities to Kate.
TB: Well, saying she created it is a stretch. She played the role in the first version of the movie; however, it was a stereotypical role that hd a long lineage that went well back to the early flickers. Again, Ekberg played the same role; this does not mean that they had hr copy Lucy, but that she too played the same role in the well worn wy it was usually played in movies.
-
Well, of course the role called for a sexy showgirl, in both the original and the remake. But other than that, Anita Ekberg was pure 50s sexpot (something Lucy never quite managed at any point in her long career). Many foreign actresses with this image in the 50s, with the notable exception of the Italian ones, tended to have long flowing manes: most notably Anita and Brigitte Bardot. NOTHING in that poster suggests Lucy to me.

*Composed by Paul Williams, at the time a well respected and successful songwriter in those days, he chose to write most of the tunes in a style I'll simply refer to as "mock ragtime", reminiscient of those Budweiser commercials of the day. But the biggest problem was that the producers(or someone)had the idea to have Williams do all of the VOCALS! I think he even did Foster's vocals.*
I've never been a fan of Paul Williams, although he wrote some pleasant hits for the likes of the Carpenters. I also enjoyed him somewhat in PHANTOM OF THE PARADISE (although I can't recall THAT soundtrack for the life of me). I just *could not stand* his singing voice; he reminded me, in looks and singing, of a squat toad. So i agree that his singing in BUGSY MALONE was a hindrance to the enjoyment of that movie. The ragtime sounding soundtrack, while somewhat late for the period depicted, of course came by way of the successful "The Entertainer" the Scott Joplin rag recently revived for THE STING (incidentally on TCM tonight), which brought that style back into prominence for awhile.
-
*As for Guys and Dolls, while it's by no means my favourite, it's got some pretty good tunes.Besides the two Sepiatone mentions, there's the very fine song, "If I Were a Bell".*
I was in a high-school rendition of GUYS AND DOLLS, and it made me appreciate Broadway-style musicals, specifically the clever lyrics that helped the story along (as a kid I recoiled at musical films; they seemed so phony-how DID everybody spontaneously break into the same dance steps and sing the same lyrics?!). I thought that it had great songs, including my favorite "Adelaide's Lament" along with the others mentioned. One great song that was NOT used in the movie version was called 'A Bushel and a Peck" done by the Hot Box Girls. A fun song that should have been included.
-
*Incidentally, when I look at the publicity poster featuring Anita Ekberg, it is rather obvious that they were trying to mold her in Lucille Ball's image. I think they should've let her have a more contemporary look (for the late 50s) rather than make her appear like an actress from the late 30s. Even Lucille Ball herself had updated to a more modern style!*
Topbilled, if you mean the poster featured a few posts down, well I don't see anything of Lucille Ball in her presentation, but rather prime 50s Anita. She kind of resembles a cross between two other European sirens of the day, Sophia Loren and Brigitte Bardot, so this definitely makes her quite 'au courant' for that time (nothing late 30s about her here). What I was surprised, being that this was RKO, and I think Hughes still was (mis)guiding it, was that there wasn't a more exploitative image used; specifically, one where the focus is on her breasts. Anyway, she fit the mid-to-late 50s idea of a European sex goddess IMHO.
-
OMG lemme see; there were so many:
TV reruns brought Tina Louise (and to a lesser extent) Deborah Wally on GILLIGAN'S ISLAND. Also Mary Tyler Moore on the DICK VAN DYKE SHOW.
Classic movies shown on TV brought Linda Darnell, Debra Paget, Ava Gardner, Gene Tierney, Lana Turner, Gail Russell, and SOOO many others . . .
Angelica Maria was only one of many good or bad girls on dozens of Mexican novelas.
Current English language TV brought Susan Dey, Jaclyn Smith, and others . . .
Soo Soooo many . . . i can't recall them all

I will say, unequivocally, that John Ford could not do comedy, and should never even have tried. Cinematically anyway, he has the most terrible sense of humour I've ever seen in a film director from that era.
It seems that Ford was working in stereotypes about the South when he started filming PINKY. I read that his black characters he wanted all portrayed as "pickaninnies", to the puint where their protrayal and the dialogue was offensive to DArryl Zanuck, who removed him and replaced him with Elia Kazan.

Topbilled, thanks for this info. This is great news. Now I'll hope a tekkie here can can tell me what this system actually is: is it DVD-r's that deteriorate after a few airings, or something else. Let's hope this does well to be ongoing until most of the studio's treasures are available.
TB, btw, you forgot another featured of Fox' top stars from the 40s, at least until he left in 1947, Henry Fonda, costarring with Tierney in RINGS ON HER FINGERS, a genial comedy.
-
Although I've recommended Angelina Jolie for playing both Loretta Young and Gene Tierney, I think she'd also make a fine Ava Gardner. She has that smoldering sexuality that would be needed by whoever plays her . . . again I think Kate Beckinsdale is amazingly beautiful and sexy, but it wasn't enough for her to work as Ava in THE AVIATOR imho.
-
*And so, while you MAY have a point about Chavez Ravine and how the idea of "Urban Renewal", or as it's called today, "Re-gentrification" might have been misused in regard to how the Dodger organization obtained their property, PLEASE do me a favor here and acknowdge that it WASN'T just "those poor Hispanics" in La La Land who got screwed because of the lousy urban planning which has almost ALWAYS been the hallmark of L.A.'s history.*
While I agree the whole of the LA Basin is crisscrossed with freeways, look at a map of the region and it'll immediately become evident where they're most densely concentrated. All I know is that in the neighborhood in which I grew up, it was surrounded by freeways on three sides (the fourth side was a range of hills); I was within one mile of three freeways.
And it was due to upscale communities that construction was halted in the continuation of a couple of freeways: Pasadena and South Pas for the 710, Beverly Hills for the 2.

*For starters, Power is considered one of the handsomest actors ever, and I agree. To me, Payne had the face of a linebacker.*
Yep, finance, you suuure got a good point there. I guess it's because of those "linebacker" looks of his that Payne was cast as leading man in so many Fox musicals with Alice Faye and Betty Grable.
Come to think of it, didn't Ty Power get cast with Grable and play in Fox musicals with Alice Faye, as well? Nah, must be my imagination. Must have been that John Payne guy. How could I have ever confused those two?
Don't know if you were being facetious there, but actually, this is it in a nutshell. Ty Power DID do musicals (and dramas with music) with Alice Faye (IN OLD CHICAGO, ALEXANDER'S RAGTIME BAND, ROSE OF WASHINGTON SQUARE) and Betty Grable (well only one-A YANK IN THE R.A.F.). In fact, Payne was Power's successor in this genre.Once Power became a huge star, in the late 1930s, Zanuck at 20th Century Fox did two things that most studios did with their stars: they started gearing scripts as star vehicles for Power, and they started looking for backups for him, should he become unmanageable or his appeal falter. So most parts were in the breezy, devil may care Power persona, whether he did them or not. Of course, many of these parts, intended or even announced for him, were done with other actors, including Richard Greene (STANLEY AND LIVINGSTONE, LITTLE OLD NEW YORK), John Payne (TIN PAN ALLEY, THE GREAT AMERICAN BROADCAST, TO THE SHORES OF TRIPOLI), George Montgomery (ORCHESTRA WIVES, TEN GENTLEMEN FROM WEST POINT, CHINA GIRL)-and this is before they all went into WW2. You can picture Ty (well at least I can) in any of these roles. In fact, the popular formula of teaming or Power with Don Ameche (AND Alice Faye), was carried over in some of these films, with Jack Oakie often being the Ameche substitute, and Faye sharing this spot with Grable.
Anyway, this pattern continued after the war. By then other actors had joined the ranks of the ersatz Power players: Gregory Peck, Cornel Wilde, Mark Stevens, Glenn Langan, etc. and into the 50s with Rory Calhoun, Dale Robertson, Robert Wagner, etc. So Zanuck pretty much used the Power persona as his most popular male archetype at least until he left his post at Fox in 1956. -
*It was a win-win, Malley gets help in clearing the site, and Universal transports the homes nine miles to its backlot, where they become part of the Alabama town seen in TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD with Gregory Peck.*
Well, it wasn't a "win-win" for the sizable Mexican community at Chávez Ravine, with many families having been there for generations, who were all forced to uproot and be relocated to make way for "urban redevelopment', as seen fit by downtown business interests,and the Chandler family with their LATimes its own rooting section.
Just like LA's then state of the art freeway system, which somehow tore through many mostly Mexican neighborhoods on the city's east and northeast sides.
-
well i agree that star names now may be what will drive greenlighting any biopic, unless its a relatively inexpensive movie, say, for hbo. i too feel that the casting for the AVIATOR left something to be desired. i think leonardo did a great job, i felt that he lacked gravitas, he seemed like a callow kid. by contrast i feel he was much more believable as j. edgar. he,s matured lookswise in the several years between the two biopics.
Now i think that kate beckinsdale was inadequate in conveying ava. but in my case i feel tha kate, beautiful tho she is, does not compare to avas feline beauty and sensuality. And (junior moment here) the actress doing hepburn sis well with voice and mannnerisms, but physically left much to be desired, i just couldnt see her as katherine unless i closed my eyes. in the manner of Jolie being too shapely, lately she seems painfully thin,
but as stated, would general audiences today know enough about these stars of yesteryear to be able to critque how much resemblance those playing them have?
-
I Think a great subject would be Gene Tierney. She had an interesting life, filled with trajedy, such as her father losing his wealth, and later using Gene as a mealticket, or her daughter with severe mental retardation, which led to her mental illness and suicide attempts. I think Angelina Jolie might work as Gene.
Linda Darnell had some drama in her life, from an outrageously overbearing stage mother that had to be thrown out of the soundstages of her films, to despondency over a backstreet affair whch caused her to contemplate suicide, to her tragic death in a house fire. Jennifer Beals actually resembles her quite a bit, but maybe someone else would have to play the 15 year old Linda that scored a lead within days of arriving in Hollywood.
Loretta Young is another with an interesting story, from being leading lady as a teen, to having a child with Clark Gable outof wedlock-and hypocritically, denied it till the end- and her great success in early TV. Angelina Jolie again might work playing her.
